Doctors Disagree
"When children are irritable and
peevish, grind their teeth and sleep
restlessly, have digestive pains and dis-
turbances, lack of appetite, and have
itching eyes, nose and fingers, doctors
will not always agree that they are suf-
fering from worms. Many mothers, too,
will not believe that their carefully
brought up children can have worms.
The fact remains that these symptoms
“will yield, in a great majority of cases,
to a few doses of White’s Cream Ver-
mifuge, the sure expellant cf round

of these symptoms, try this harm-
less, old fashioned remedy, which

ACQUITTAL OF DOHENY
ENDS “OIL” TRIAL?
WASHINGTON, March 23.—The
ast of the oil trials ended Saturday
vhen Edward L. Doheny was found
blameless of intent to corrupt a cab-
net officer.
The aged prospector and oil man
vas cleared after having been un-
der a cloud since the senate Teapot
Dome investigation six years ago.
Only one ballot was necessary for
he jury of three women and nine men
Lo agree that Doheny, multimillionaire
was innocent of fraudulent motives
when he gave $100,000 in 1921 to Al-
bert B. Fall, then the secretary of the
interior, intrusted with handling naval
oil reserve leases.
Fall was convicted of accepting a
bribe on similar evidence a few
months ago.
The story of the oil deals had been
told and retold scores of tiroes since
the revelation that Fall was spending
vast amounts of money in New Mex-
ico. The story was told again in this
trial, the speediest of them all.
In nine days of testimony and argu-
ment the jury heard details, spiced
with sentimental appeals.
Mrs. W. E. Gosdin and little son,
Bobby, of Little Rock, Ark., and her
mother, Mrs. Cab Cunningham of
Belton are spending a few days here
with Mrs. W. T. Towler and Miss
Barbara Cunningham.

COTTON CHAMP
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., March 23.
—The most cotton ever grown in Ark-
ansas on one acre of land, was pro-
duced by a girl.
Exactly 1,579 pounds of lint cot-
ton, or more than three bales, on
a measured acre is the new State
high production record. Blanche Beall,
who lives near Wilson, Ark., is res-
ponsible for it.
She not only defeated adult far-
mers, but won the Arkansas 1929 4-H
Club cotton championship as well. Her
net return on the acre was $296, sale
price less fertilizer and seed costs.
Nineteen hundred 4-H club boys
and girls grew cotton last year in
Arkansas.
YEAH?
(From the Atchison Globe.)
With a hopefulness characteristic
of his bright, sunny disposition, Wil-
liam Allen White is of the opinion
that within a few hundred years there
will be quite a handful of husky hus-
bands who will have the hardihood to
fight it out with wives who spend
more than the husbands can possibly
earn.

G. O. P. WILL LOSE , PRISON FIGHT TO CON- SOLONS PASS 55 CENT
CONTROL BYRNS THINKS j TINUE, MOODY SAYS TAX ON SULPHUR
WASHINGTON, March 23.—The
flat prediction that President Hoover
will face the problem of dealing with
a democratic controlled house the last,
two years of the present administra-
tion; was made today by Representa-
tive Byrns of Tennessee, chairman of
the democratic congressional com-
mittee.
The assertion was based on a po-
litical survey by Byrns. He predicted
the democrats would increase their
number in the house in the fall elec-
tions by seventy members. With the
165 members now, they need but 53
additional votes to give them a total
of 218 seats in the house of ’435 mem-
bers. The republicans have a majority
of 102, with one farmer laborer and
several vacancies.
“Not only will the democrats re-
gain 30 selats lost during the 1928
elections,” the Tennesseean said, “but
from the survey made we conserva-
tively estimate that we will gain 70
seats, and there is an excellent pos-
sibility of our taking 20 more.”
Byrns declared the “failure of the
administration’s efforts to successful-
ly carry out one major project with-
in an entire year, the economic de-
pression, the obvious failure of the
Hind on. arms conference, and nat-
ionwide unemployment conditions,
have created dissatisfaction through-
out the country and the voters will
register their protest this fall.”
Noting it was customary for the
democrats to “stage a come-back in
off year elections,” Chairman Snell
of the house rules committee, said
the democrats would regain between
30 and 40 seats. Snell said that the
republicans now 'held that number
which normally were in the demo-
cratic column. The New Korker add-
ed the democrats were due to lose
some seats now held, and forecast
that republican control of the house
would continue during the last two
years of the Hoover administration.
The democrats, Byrns said, would
gain seats largely in the northern,
mid-western states, in addition to
those expected to ‘he regained in the
southern and political border states.

BELL COUNTY WOMAN
FACES CHARGES OF
FRAUDULENT ACTS
BELTON, March 23.—Mrs. Sue
Rascoe, who was indicted by the Bell
county grand jury on March 14 for
alleged fraudulent issuing of ware-
house receipts, was arrested at San
Antonio Saturday night by John R.
BigHam, sheriff of Beil county. She
is charged with obtaining credit from
a Bartlett bank by the use of ficti-
tious warehouse1 receipts for cotton-
seed, it being alleged that she ob-
tained more than $7,000 in that man-
ner.
Mrs. Rascoe was released on bond
in the sum of $2500 late Sunday after-
noon, pending trial.

“I know, and the prison board
knows, that the legislature did not

it did enact. It intended to say that
any balance remaining of the money
appropriated in the bill passed in the
earlier part of the session for repair
of the prison system, which was not
expended in making the repairs con-
templated hv that bill, could be used
by the prison board to make any
other needed repairs on present own-
ed properties of the prison system.
The legislature, in fact, said that any

MRS. CLARENCE GILMORE
PASSES AWAY AT AUSTIN
AUSTIN, March , 21.—Mrs. Lena
McKain Gilmore, widow of Chan-man
Clarence E. Gilmore of the Railroad
Commission died early Friday at her s^on seven cents levy for this pur-
position made of it in the emergency
appropriation bill.
He would not commit himself to a
plan to use it in carrying into effect
his idea of penitentiary reform, how-
ever.
Other Bills Passed.
The franchise tax and Confederate
Veterans pension bills were passed
during the closing hours. The new
pension bill provided a $50 monthly
pension for each married Confeder-
ate Veteran living with his wife con-
tinuously since 1900 and $25 monthly
for unmarried veterans and widows of
veterans, it also provides that money
shall be borrowed from the general
revenue fund to supplement the pen-
pose when it is insufficient to meet
the demand on it. Married veterans
now get $25 monthly and unmarried
veterans and widows $12.50-' monthly,,
payable quarterly.
